There are days when you have a million and one things to do and just need a “throw it all in the crockpot” solution for dinner. This easy mixed been soup definitely came to the rescue with some wonderful flavors to go with. Key is to always have some cooked beans around ( or assorted canned beans). Most of the ingredients should be in your pantry so it’s definitely an easy , yet delicious meal idea.
Had some precooked black and white beans in the freezer. Key word FREEZER. Do not store cooked beans long term in the fridge. In a few days you’ll find yourself opening all windows and doors regardless of the temperature outside.
Like I said before, everything was thrown in a crockpot and by the end of my day, a steaming bowl was served for dinner.
